2015 observational study suggests these results are not unique to Covid: ""Our research shows a correlation between hospitalisation due to infection and impaired cognition corresponding to an IQ score of 1.76 lower than…
The linked article did not say climate research is fraud. It says the climate implications of permafrost thawing are complex and very difficult to model.
I found Firefox to be much more response when operating lots of tabs and opening and closing tabs quickly with keyboard shortcuts on Windows. My direct comparison is Microsoft Edge (Chromium based) which is noticeably…
Have you found a better alternative for someone who trades a lot? I'd like to drill down into trade results per symbol and get ROI statistics and visualize past buy/sell points.
Spitznagel runs a fund that specializes on so-called "tail-risk events", i.e. he profits from extremely unlikely economic scenarios such as hyperinflation or violent economic crashes. He profits more the more assets he…
That is a very narrow and frankly sweepingly incorrect description of "CEOs" or "companies". They're not all the same. I for one (alongside many other investors) carefully study incentive programs and compensation…
I looked through the new features list, but couldn't find the "conversational" threads feature which was on the roadmap for Q1 2023. Is this will coming or am I just missing it?
Ballou's criticism of PE fund managers being skilled in finance but not in operations or engineering is missing the point. A good PE fund manager understands the ins and outs of capital allocation and its long-term…
That however is unfortunately true for quotes from many of history's dark figures, be it Hitler, Stalin or Nero.
While that sounds concerning, I have to question the underlying thesis: Does private ownership always short-change customers, like the subtitle insinuates? "hospice agencies are now for-profit, putting profit…
In parts of popular media, there seems to be an assumption of a very high certainty for an impending "economic productivity revolution thanks to LLM AI". Case studies like this one show the future isn't so clear.
A slap on the wrist. And the EU will be parading this around as a major win against "the evil tech conglomerates".
You have to carefully analyze if you absolutely need to live in Munich - the most expensive city in Germany - in order to run and build your startup once you graduate. Is the extra cost and low quality of life worth it…
I vividly recall seeing a feature on TV in the mid 80s where they were discussing future technologies for the year 2000. One of them was the cashier-less store: We'd all put in our grocery items in the carts and then…
Stephen Wolfram has a way of explaining and teaching that is unique. What a wonderful read.
I have always wondered if the 'big productive urban center' (like London, or Paris, or Warsaw) is a boon or a curse for the 300 miles around it. Does it soak up young talent and capital from the surrounding areas,…
I'd like to counter the notion the EU today is first and foremost an economic union. The EU can not simply be replaced by "a bunch of free trade agreements". Helmut Kohl has always maintained the EU was also founded to…
What I find interesting is nobody complained about Musk's social media antics when he proclaimed himself to be Technoking of Tesla or when he hyped dogecoins with diamond hands. Both evidence of bizarre behavior for a…
Could go a long way to explain the “Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” figure of speech.
Exactly this. We already have digital currencies. They are called US Dollar and Euro. They exist as numbers in bank accounts, transfers are safe and very efficient.
Many of the "Covid-19 increases risk of XYZ" popular media articles lack baseline comparisons to other virus infections. (Disclaimer: Yes, we know Covid-19 isn't the flu, and it's more deadly.) My point is: how much…
It's only once you compare the performance of Twitter to other tech shares and realize the last 12 years were the biggest tech bull market in history. And Twitter shows zero return.
They are not asking him for a refund, they are informing him of a chargeback. That's a fundamental difference.
"which connected China’s best teachers "... I wonder why they choose the best teachers for this type study? Wouldn't a randomized, average sample produce more objective results?
It's great to see there were new Emacs users and developers coming on board, judging by the age of some of the presenters. Emacs has been proclaimed dead many times, I think it has long future ahead of itself. Yes its…
